Targeted Dethatching to Improve Soil Contact
Lawn dethatching is a vital process for maintaining a healthy and lush turf. It involves removing the layer of thatch, a dense mat of roots, stems, and debris that accumulates between the grass and soil. Excessive thatch can hinder water, nutrients, and air from reaching the roots, leading to weakened grass and increased susceptibility to pests and diseases.
Professional tools are used to efficiently remove thatch buildup, promoting healthier grass growth.

The dethatching process typically takes between one to three hours for an average-sized lawn, depending on the extent of thatch buildup and the equipment used. Professionals assess the lawn's condition to determine the appropriate level of dethatching, ensuring minimal disruption while maximizing benefits. The process involves raking or using specialized dethatching machines to lift and remove the thatch layer effectively.
